  2. Confrontation visual field testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confrontation_visual_field...

    For testing the right eye field, the patient is asked to close his left eye, and look straight at the examiner's left eye (preferably) or nose. [1] Examiner should also close his/her right eye. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] Move a finger or bead-on-a-stick inwards from an area outside the usual 180º visual field, and ask the patient when they first see the targets.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    To see it, one must be in a dark room, with one eye closed; one must look straight ahead while moving a light back and forth in the field of the open eye. Then one should see the sixth Purkinje as a dimmer image moving in the opposite direction. The Purkinje tree is an image of the retinal blood vessels in one's own eye, first described by ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    Light falling in one eye affects the diameter of the pupils in both eyes. One can easily see this by looking at a friend's eye while he or she closes the other: when the other eye is open, the pupil of the first eye is small; when the other eye is closed, the pupil of the first eye is large. Accommodation and vergence. Accommodation is the ...

  6. Binocular rivalry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_rivalry

    Porta put one book in front of one eye, and another in front of the other. He reported that he could read from one book at a time and that changing from one to the other required withdrawing the "visual virtue" from one eye and moving it to the other. According to Wade (1998), binocular colour rivalry was first reported by Le Clerc (1712).

  7. Ocular dominance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance

    Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye preference or eyedness, [1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. [2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right- or left- handedness ; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match. [ 3 ]

  8. Monocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocular_vision

    Monocular vision is vision using only one eye. It is seen in two distinct categories: either a species moves its eyes independently, or a species typically uses two eyes for vision, but is unable to use one due to circumstances such as injury. [1] Monocular vision can occur in both humans and animals (such as hammerhead sharks).

  9. Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unihemispheric_slow-wave_sleep

    In domestic chicks and other species of birds exhibiting USWS, one eye remained open contra-lateral (on the opposite side) to the "awake" hemisphere. The closed eye was shown to be opposite the hemisphere engaging in slow-wave sleep. Learning tasks, such as those including predator recognition, demonstrated the open eye could be preferential. [8]
